Scripture declares that the Words of God are pure, as silver tried in a furnace [Psalm 12:6], that God proves us as silver is tried [Psalm 66:10], and refines us as silver is [Zechariah 13:8-9]. I pray through this blog, not my words but, through the reading of the scriptures, through the presentation of thoughts and of comments, splinters of silver may prick and stay with us throughout our lives as we grow as Christians.

C.H. Spurgeon

Sinners, let me address you with words of life; Jesus wants nothing from you, nothing whatsoever, nothing done, nothing felt; he gives both work and feeling. Ragged, penniless, just as you are, lost, forsaken, desolate, with no good feelings, and no good hopes, still Jesus comes to you, and in these words of pity he addresses you, "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out."

Homo is defined as “same”. Therefore
all of mankind is known as Homo sapiens, and those (whether male or female) “who
are sexually attracted to members of the same sex” are known as Homosexual.

Hetero is defined as “other or
different”; thus all (whether male or female) “who are sexually attracted to
the opposite sex” are known as Heterosexual.

[1] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both Homo sapiens.

[2] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both sexually attracted to other Homo
sapiens.

Old Testament

Homo sapiens who commit
adultery in sexual, Heterosexual relationships are worthy of death.

And the man that committeth
adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his
neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to
death. [Leviticus 20:10]

Homo sapiens who have sexual, Homosexual
relationships are worthy of death.

If a man also lie with
mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. [Leviticus
20:13]

[3] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both worthy of death if they partake
in unlawful sexual relationships.

New Testament

And he said, That which cometh
out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of
men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts,
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy,
pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
[Mark 7:20-23]

Fornication – sexual
immorality

[5] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both capable of allowing the evil
within their hearts to defile them through fornication [sexual immorality; that
which is unbiblical].

[6] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both worthy of death and can be given
over to a reprobate mind by the wrath of God against the sin of their unbiblical,
sexual relationships.

[Romans 1:16-32]

But there is no direction by
Christ (the foundation of the New Testament Church) during His life to show that
physical death should be carried out upon the Heterosexuals or Homosexuals
guilty of sexual impurity. He does not display acceptance or dismissal of sin,
but rather calls unto them to repent.

[7] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are both born with a sin nature (though
the besetting sins may vary), having a desire to do the lusts of the flesh
rather than the commands of God.

For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God. [Romans 3:23]

[8] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they are only guilty of sin when they partake
in sinful acts of adultery and fornication; not simply having the desire or inclination
to.

[9] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they can be forgiven by God for committing such
immoral acts of adultery and fornication.

And such were some of you: but
ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. [1 Corinthians 6: 11]

[10] Heterosexuals and
Homosexuals are equal, in that, they must all repent and put faith in Jesus
Christ to receive salvation and be forgiven of sin.

If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. [1 John 1:9]

So, what we learn about God
and the Bible is not that God is merely against Homosexuals, but rather equally
against Heterosexuals and Homosexuals who take part in sexual sin. What is the
difference? It is the giving in to the sin of the flesh (whatever that may be
for any Homo sapiens), versus denying the flesh to partake in any sinful, sexual desire.

Homosexuals become
transgressors when they take part in the sinful lust and act of sexual
relationships outside of God’s determined counsel; likewise, do Heterosexuals
become equally sinners when they entertain the thoughts and actions of sexual
relationships outside of God’s Word.

By falsely attributing God as
a respecter of persons, one will miss the equality of God’s wrath upon sin and
His grace upon repentance; thus succumbing to the foolishness of the world, the
snare of the devil, and the deadly desires of the flesh; whereby they shall die
in their sins, rather than be born again through Jesus Christ.

A redefining of marriage will
not nullify the Word of God nor justify the Homosexual, no more than a
redefining of the terms adultery and fornication could cleanse the Heterosexual
of such sins.

Heterosexual and Homosexual
Equality can be found in God, whether by His wrath upon unconfessed sin or by
His grace upon the repentant heart through Jesus Christ.

John Bunyan

To be saved is to be preserved in the faith to the end. 'He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.' (Mt. 24:13) Not that perseverance is an accident in Christianity, or a thing performed by human industry; they that are saved 'are kept by the power of God, through faith unto salvation.' (1 Pet. 1: 3-6) But perseverance is absolutely necessary to the complete saving of the soul…. He that goeth to sea with a purpose to arrive at Spain, cannot arrive there if he be drowned by the way; wherefore perseverance is absolutely necessary to the saving of the soul.

1 Corinthians 13

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
